Just game in the bathtub. Win-win-win.

I feel like any openly non-Christian major candidate won't happen for the next 100 years. I think we've had a few that didn't really ever talk about it, but anyone going openly against the "norm" would likely be shunned. Even if people become less likely to make their religion part of their personality, I think it's going to be part of their decision making for generations.

There's no downside so it's not a particularly good what if. It'd make more sense that you'd owe what you don't spend to the government or a really nasty loan shark.

What even is the point of that? Of course not literally every single college student is a whiny, selfish nitwit. It doesn't mean there isn't a pervasive college culture issue in many of these institutions.

I fear the idea of not existing. Attempting to conceptualize that always freaks me out. If methods of indefinite longevity aren't a thing, I'm hoping that cryogenics will be a common and affordable thing by the time I'm about to die.

Cause it's easier to get away with if it's animated and people are pretty sick. They can convince themselves it's not as bad. Which it probably isn't, but it still motivates your mind to fetishise rape. Which is a really dark path. You definitely should not water that seed if it was planted by something you seen or experienced as a young adult. Do I think everyone who fetishises rape would do it in real life? Of course not. But everyone who attempts rape obviously fetishised it before that got to that point.

While I'd agree that it's on the worse side of fetishes, you must really have no faith in humans in general if you think they're swayed that much by fiction. It's really no different than the video games cause violence argument.

Christ, if there's anything worse than death, it's constantly daily abuse and assault with no idea it's ever going to end.

well there is no one (except for a private transaction with a friend or family member) who is going to give you a loan without a stipulation like that. they make their money off interest. more money due = more interest.

Most decent institutions will just count on the human condition paying things back over a long period of time vs rushing to pay it off.

It's a thing for scam institutions that depend solely on people paying interest in order to make a profit, so obviously paying it off early takes away their profit.

Only if they abandon nearly everything they've done since Skyrim.

It was fairly fun. It definitely seems built to do it while still having time left before beating the game though. The final prize is useless to someone who has completed it. I can't really say it justifies the price in your circumstances unless you really adore the game.

It completely ignores that we have around a 1:1 gun to person ratio, so it's unrealistic at best. Even ignoring the massive backlash due to centuries of gun culture, such a project would be near impossible or take like a hundred years. There are measures that can be taken to try to reduce it, but that isn't one of them.

I've had maybe two delays in like 50 packages, so it's not too bad at all.

It's not like first class vs coach is going to cause any more pollution on either a train or a plane, so that seems pointless. Now, her taking vanity shots like the whole ordeal is so bothersome and then actually being comfy the whole time is a reason for criticism.

Stockholm syndrome, but they're aware of it. Same reason people watched the prequel trilogy. It'll just keep happening.

Pretty much everything from the NES on, except a couple Sega systems, Vita and Xbox One.

Unless you bought a bargain TV several years after it was produced, any TV should last five years minimum, ten if it's a top of the line one.

It was good overall. Director's cut ending was much better.

Yes, it was superb. I can see people not absolutely loving it, but anyone outright trashing it was seemingly doing it out of some false political narrative.

So far I've spent about $5000-$8000, so yes. Though that was several major purchases, so not a typical year.

This idea that having or having had a dick is some kind of non-issue borders on lunacy.

Realistically before a date even happens, but the latest it should happen is before any intimacy begins. Surgery is only going to get better and better sobeing able to tell will eventually start to become a thing of the past for many.

I couldnt ever get into it. I guess Im not really into the whole style of repeating it over and over.

Yes. Nobody ever uses it in a positive way. It may sometimes be factually true, but to point it out in the progressive way is to try to bring the other person down.

It in no way sounds rapey outside of humanity's collectively evolved internet brains.

"Desperately seeking relief from emotional pain is inherently negative and so if you spiral down to your death who gives a fuck. This is the cold math of life"

I'm not 100% on the no sympathy side, but anecdotally I disagree that most drug users are seeking relief. They're typically just selfish assholes who use their newfound emotional pain from being shitheads as an excuse to spiral further into oblivion. Actual statistics may or may not disagree with me though.

Why?

Risk of addiction and negative effects to the body for a momentary high. There's no long term positive to be found for anyone engaging in such acts.

TheGoldenEel posted...

the majority of drug use isnt addictive drug use and there are plenty of people who use drugs without major negative effects

With the exclusion of stuff shown to have no particular long term effects, which isn't a part of this conversation, all drug use is inherently negative.

No. I disagree with the terminology and the application on the individual level. There is an extreme difference between saying that on average people may experience life differently based on innate characteristics and that an individual has an innate advantage based on those average experiences. Ascribing that as something innate to each individual completely ignores the context of each individual's life experience.

Says the guy whos addicted to driving.

Make better choices, bro.

Im jk, why do you think its a horrible comparison?

The majority of drives end without any issues. The majority of addictive drug use leads to negative effects. Even if you see all addicted drug users as victims of the addiction, the comparison just doesn't work the way you indented it.

Heres your same logic applied to people who die in car accidents:

Oh did I say logic? I meant nonsense.

While I get the sentiment, that's a horrible comparison.

If you make scummy choices, you are a scummy person. Addiction doesn't change that, just the same with drink drivers.

The addiction itself is bad, yes, but ultimately the person still makes the choice to do harm to others and that is not something that should be forgiven.

Addiction can definitely turn someone into a completely unreedemable scumbag. Even when they're sober, you can tell how much they've changed. Though that obviously depends on the kind of drug used and history of usage.

Sort of. I feel bad that people get dragged down into a horrible habit that ruins lives. At the same time, having seen one particular disgusting person bounce back and forth between sobriety and drug use the last few years, blaming all issues in her life on everything but herself, selling her own child's insulin for drug money, and just being an all around horrible person, I'd honestly feel nothing if she dropped dead due to her own issues.

Unless there's some kind of context being left out, I don't see any possible justification for such a question. Differently worded thought experiments could possibly be put to good use for teens and adults, but that just sounds like the teacher wanted to shove it in there for some perverse pleasure.

I won't vote regardless, but between those two I'd not vote even harder if physically possible.

Is there any data showing her speech had any actually effect? If it actually made change happen, I guess it fits, but its dumb if she had no impact beyond making people salty.

I'd certainly attempt it, but who knows if I can physically and mentally withstand it.

The whole system is moronic, and the food should just cost whatever it takes to make sure everyone is paid well. Tipping culture as an expectation is dumb. Though obviously you should still tip until we as a country finally get it sorted out.

People can certainly feel that way, but it seems to simply be a personal rejection of societal labels in favor of their own. As long as it's not detrimental to anyone else, there's no reason not to be polite and accept what they feel.

Ive never been much of a comic reader, but I loved Preacher. Though that does go against your one volume limit.

I really hope it comes out that Yaniv has done something worthy of being arrested for like twenty years.

If she's a regular vegan, nothing because I don't really care if someone loses to their vices. If she's one of the minority asshole "you're evil for eating meat" vegans, take a picture and secretly rat her out to the office so everyone can bathe in her rage.

There are so many possible horrible underlying reasons that it should be taken with a grain of salt.

I can't get into Rougelikes like that. I like Roguelites better because they don't require the timesink needed to git gud.

Psychonauts 2 as long as it doesn't end up like shit after all this time and Animal Crossing.

I'd have to do at least one every ten seconds for the full 24 hours.

Yeah, there'd be no reason not to do it to any planet we can reasonably do it to assuming we have the science and resources. The issue is we don't have the science or resources currently.

Just like we are all seeing it as " defending Nazis". But hey, call it what you want

Keep on keeping on that strawman because actually addressing me would force you to concede. I don't get why it's so hard to be like Hinakuluiau and simply agree to a basic fact. I don't get why there is so much contention to the statement "not every nazi was evil." I think most people would agree that's a true fact about nearly every group that has a certain amount of people in it. I don't know why people are trying to equate that to me saying the nazis aren't evil. They were in fact very evil, very horrible, very vile, etc etc etc. Yet you keep saying that no matter how many times I say the contrary.
